Hello there, here is my next DT project for Cardz TV. I love searching through Pinterest, especially for the holidays, in my search I found this No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake, which is delish!!! Clicking it will take you right to her site for the recipe. These will be perfect little desserts for our Thanksgiving dinner.I used Cardz TV stamp set "Fall Fun" for the pumpkin and the sentiment. Love that little pumpkin in this stamp set, it was so much fun to color in, using Copic markers and the Wink of Stella glitter pen. I cut out a green leaf to put behind it, added a green button with some "Olive Green" Timeless Twine. I put some orange jute ribbon on top of some ivory trim and wrapped it around a small mason jar.These can be used with many different kinds of goodies, it's whatever your heart desires!Enjoy...

Hi there, welcome back for another DT project for Timeless Twine. Here is a cute mason jar that's perfect for the "harvest" time of year. I used the "Autumn Splendor" twine around the lid, pretty papers from Simple Stories "Pumpkin Spice" paper pack and enamel dots. The svg file can be found in the Silhouette store, design# 65656. The lid is meant for fabric, but I decided to use paper instead...you will have to wet the paper until it becomes soft, so it can easily bend around the lid top, gently tie it, then let it dry. Fabric is much easier, but I really wanted to use the pattern from the paper.Enjoy...

I put a tea light inside, but it can be filled with anything... something scented like pot pourri or something sweet to eat, like cookies!

Hi there, welcome back for another DT project I made for Cardz TV. I made some fun Halloween treat boxes and I used Cardz TV stamp sets"Spooky Sayings" and "Trick or Treat". I liked adding the zombie girl to the tombstone treat box, for a little extra creative fun.

The svg files that were used are from the Silhouette store... Myra Mains Tombstone - design#47686, the Zombie Girl - design# 47396 and the BOO treat box - design# 67334. I put foam tape behind the BOO and added some "Olive Green" Timeless Twine. I heat embossed both sentiments, one in white and the other in black.

Hi everyone, here with another project for Timeless Twine. For today's project I made some Halloween party favors in a spooky box. I know I have said it before, but I will say it again...I love, love this time of year and Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. Every year we usually throw a Halloween party, so I thought it would be fun to decorate a box that would hold the individual candy bags for party favors.

I found the svg file for the box in the Silhouette store design#55264 and for the Vampire couple, design#48137. The white tag is from Bella Creationz, along with the small and large kraft bags. The "Solid Orange" twine was used to tie a bow around the bags and the lollipop stick popping out.

I stamped several Halloween images on all of the bags and added kraft script tissue paper for the final touch.

Enjoy...

Hi there, wanted to share a quick project I made, it's a Halloween ATC "artist trading card". I actually made this for a swap I'm in, I had 12 to make and had lots of fun putting them together. The inks, embossing powders, sentiment die and bat die are from Tim Holtz, the gothic gate die is from Poppy and the embossing folder I used is "crackle" by Darice. I did add some black glitter to the bat, but it's is hard to see in the pic.

Hi everyone, happy to be back with another "3d" dt project for Cardz TV. I found this awesome acorn svg file in the Silhouette store - design# 68832, the stand I put it on I made myself from an empty ribbon spool. I used the Cardz TV stamp set "Thankful for You" and heat embossed the sentiment with Stampendous "Clear Bark" embossing powder around each edge of the acorn.

God knows I am very thankful for many things in my life, especially for my wonderful boys and husband, so the sentiment "So Thankful" was perfect. I love Fall for many reasons, it's so fresh, cozy and colorful! This acorn was just what I needed, you can take the lid off and I put a scented sachet in it, which is what I did with some "Pumpkin Spice" that I bought from AC Moore. I also tied some "Solid Orange" Timeless Twine around the stem.The base is an empty ribbon spool...I colored it brown, I covered it with brown pattern paper, added some mica flakes and embossing powder from Stampendous, I used tissue paper to fill in between the top and bottom of the spool. I then glued some burlap ribbon around the edge for sturdiness, heat embossed it and glued the brown trim on top of that. It's a perfect fit for the acorn, which I then glued into the hole on top of the spool.Enjoy...
